Style Files: Taking Britt Nicole’s Tutu From The Stage To Real Life

Dressing for the stage lets a performer break all the rules. From the over-the-top costumes of characters like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to the sparkly, personality driven style of Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. More low-key pop girls, like 2013 GRAMMY nominee Britt Nicole, keep it simple enough to go from stage to real life.

Nicole talked to Radio.comabout what she likes to wear for live performances — and we pulled some real life dresses to help you get her look for an everyday style.

“As far as my fashion when I go on stage, it’s completely different than what I’m comfortable in [but] I do feel like I have to be comfortable on stage because I’m moving a lot, I’m dancing…so I have to have something that I can move in,” Nicole explained. “When I’m trying on clothes for a tour coming up, I’m in the dressing room posing, dancing, holding my mic. I’m like, ‘Okay, how do I feel in this? Can I lift my arms? What all can I do?’

“The last thing I bought for the most recent tour I was one is this really big tutu skirt. It goes out really far and has this gold top. I wear it with gold Converse. It’s this kind of prissy, really fun pop look and then the Converse make it more fun, more edgy.”

Another option for daytime is a longer tulle skirt, like this sleeveless version. This illusion skirt has the fairytale feel of a tutu with length that makes it appropriate for day-to-night wear. The jeweled waistband adds an extra princess touch.
